Randall,

 RS> This is a good reminder that we're all human, built different,
 RS> and have different strengths and obstacles to deal with. I
 RS> struggle to remember that sometimes. Thank you for that.

  Men's handwriting looks like they are stone drunk. Yet, the woman's
handwriting is beautiful.

 RS> A couple regulars on my club net are blind, and I have to
 RS> constantly remind myself that certain weekly topics are pretty
 RS> exclusionary, so have to make adjustments.

  Most of the folks that checkin to the HandiHams Radio Club Daily
Net (Monday through Friday) are blind.

 DS>   Exactly. Besides, if you can't get on the air, why bother to get
 DS> licensed in the first place??

 RS> Very fair point!

  Like it or not, the old guard is dying off...and we need to replace them
with new, younger operators.

 RS> This is fantastic! Love it!

  This is what I tell folks at the exam sessions that I do.

 RS> I remember working a fella a year or so ago who was operating
 RS> in the parking lot adjacent to the long-term care facility he
 RS> resided in. Loved radio, but obviously couldn't have his gear
 RS> inside, so his family had set up his gear for him and wheeled
 RS> him across the street. The pure joy in that voice was
 RS> incredible.

  On one recent CQ200 Net, a guy checked in via his smartphone.
  
 RS> This is a fantastic list! A few I've never heard of in there.
 RS> Will have to scrub through it more thoroughly when I get a
 RS> little more time. (I really shouldn't be doing echomail while
 RS> I'm on the clock.) :)

  30 lashes with a wet TNC cable (hi hi).

73,
